BONKERS FOR COCONUTS

I'm sure we all agree that coconut seems to be the 'it' new trendy ohhh-so-many-health-benefits food. It has taken me awhile to jump on this band wagon. However two weeks ago, I was introduced to 'CO-YO'.
I have a pretty crazy diet, currently being gluten, dairy and sugar free so finding a new food which I can eat AND is delicious is like 2 new pairs of shoes in one day. It is a big deal. CO-YO is made in Australia and is gluten, nut, dairy and soy free. I expected the yogurt to be watery and bitter but first mouthful I was hooked.  It's creamy, thick and even a little rich! I've only tried the natural flavour but they also do mixed berry and mango which sound just as tasty. Then a couple of days ago, Bondi Healthfoods opened up down the road from our house and tucked away in their freezer I found 'CocoLuscious'. Still reeling from my first coconut experience, I handed over the $11 for half a litre and practically ran home to try it. OH MY. Also free of dairy and sweetened only with agave syrup, this ice cream was so yum. Super creamy again but not sickening like most icecreams and they have the 16 amazing flavours- raspberry, choc chop cookie dough, coffee, blueberry, chai and chilli chocolate. Yes you did just read correctly- chilli chocolate.
 Like anything good for you with great ingredients neither of these were cheap. CO-YO was $8 for 250grams which I could easily have eaten in about 1 second but under the watchful eye of Matt, was forbidden too. And CocoLuscious is about $11-13 depending what health food store. You will have to practise the art of self control but its worth it. get with the cool kids and go coconut.

END OF THE WORLD SALE

Us Sydney siders are lucky enough to have the 'End of the World' Sale take place in Sydney. It happens every year and is many awesome brands (Evil Twin, Mink Pink, Hunt No More, Somedays Lovin) selling with about 80% off. Yeow. I headed down this morning. Slightly overwhelming when chicks and $5 sample sale boxes are involved but alas I managed to come away with some goodies
 including these two skirts. I never have enough bottoms compared to tops but thanks to these two welcome additions, the odds are looking up. I managed to score them both for $25. Yeyah.

STUD ME UP DIY

So I purchased these little studs off Ebay awhile ago. They came in at a bank breaking $1 for 100 studs + free shipping. They did take about 3-4 weeks to make it to Australia but can't complain when they were one whole dollar. This is what I had in store for them - my sister gave me these sandals awhile ago. Im not really a sandal person as Id much rather hang out in boots all year round, but this is sometimes just not practical and my feet are crying out for some air. So yesterday afternoon I got busy making these a little more interesting. If you have studs in your eyes too, below is how I did it!

Find yourself some shoes to attack, clear nail polish and a decently thick needle. Mark where you want the stud to go by pressing it over the leather & then make four holes with the needle.

Press the stud into the leather. My studs had 4 prongs but itd be hella easier with two pronged studs.

Yes my fingers were starting to hurt right about now.

Once you're done polish the studs with clear nail polish. I just did this in case they decide to rust or tarnish in a wet situation etc.

and here they are..

Ignore the scuffs! But pretty happy with the final result.

STOMPING SHOES

black velvet flatforms- ASOS

so the postman delivered these puppies this morning. I am thrilled. New shoes make me so happy. How wonderfully 90's are they? Matt is not quiet as thrilled, quote 'so why do you like them again?'. So yes, they may well be man repelling shoes but hey ho, the shoe fits and I'm damn well gonna wear it. I foolishly wore them out to an appointment today and managed to lose half the skin off the back of my ankles- I never learn my lesson to WEAR shoes in first! The backs of my ankles are now covered in Barbie plasters. Grand.
